Ahhh the ol belly warmer. In the DNA of every man. That Thomas Merton quote about Gods will is money.

Beautiful. Thanks Evan. This quote resonates extra deep, and I still work on providing it to my young teenage self on the regular. It would have been such a gift…and saved so much pain & heartache (both mine and caused by me) if a ‘safe someone’ had been available…

“When I look back now, I don’t judge that kid at all. I’m really sad for him. I wish he had someone to give him a hug, to talk to him about what he was going through, and to encourage him in all the healthy opportunities for relationships he was going to have in his long and beautiful life.”

Thank you kind internet stranger! “Both mine and caused by me” is a beautifully insightful line there. It’s a good day to send our younger selves the love they needed… and to realize they got us here anyway 🫶
